J-M These are my youngest daughters fav cookie. My wife would make them when the kids were little as they were cheap and easy, today at 31 my daughter makes them for the same reason and that she just plain loves to eat them.

As far as I know, baking is usually done in an oven and not on top of the stove. Of course, sugar can be used instead of the Splenda for those who aren't diabetic or otherwise avoiding sugar. However, I now use the Walmart version of Splenda called Great Value, which is a lot cheaper and just as good as Splenda. I eat a lot of the Great Value brand to save money, and it's all just as good as the name brands.
